Chincoteague Weekend- Big Music,Artsy Stroll
Chincoteague Weekend- Big Music-Artsy Stroll
Chincoteague Island is set to hit some high notes this weekend starting with a Free concert at the beautiful waterfront Robert Reed Park. These free concerts produced by the Chincoteague Cultural Alliance are a valuable addition to the ever-expanding buffet of CCA musical offerings. Kudos to Bill Troxler, Musical Director of the CCA who by the way has a newly released CD himself. If you want more information about Mr. Troxler’s new CD, please call Jon Richstein of Sundial Books Fame at 757- 336-5825 and he will tell you all about it.
Now, about that Free Concert at the Dock.
This Saturday’s concert begins at 5pm and features a talented duo from Cumberland, Pa. called Hemlock Hollow. Roger and Chris Wilkinson play in a range of styles from classic folk to old time country, originals and covers of favorites like the Beatle’s and the Stones. Bring a beach chair and enjoy!
The Island Bluegrass Alliance is at it again with a couple of great Bluegrass Bands performing at the Chincoteague Center. Satyr Hill from Baltimore, Md. and Thunder Creek from Wakefield, Va., will touch all the Bluegrass bases, traditional, gospel, old-time etc. in two shows, one at 5pm and another at 7pm. For more information call Bill Chrisman at 757- 336-3030.
Be sure to check out Bill Chrisman’s new video interview on www.ChincoteagueOutlook.com under the Personalities Button. Bill ruminates about the origins of the Island Bluegrass Alliance and his love of Bluegrass Music.
The Linda Nerine Gallery at 6519 Church St. will be hosting a talented multi-media artist as part of the Second Saturday Art Stroll. Lucy Roehm a resident of both Philadelphia and Chincoteague Island has become one of the most collected artists on the island. Ms. Roehm works in watercolor, oil, acrylic, graphite and pencil. For more info. 757-336-5322.
And speaking of the 2nd Saturday Art Stroll, there is a virtual Cornucopia of artists, musicians and special events throughout the island, way too many to list here. For a full rundown of this not-to be-missed monthly extravaganza, the Insider suggests that you visit www.chincoteagueculturalalliance.org . I can tell you this, each and every one of the Strolls is better than the last one. The Town really gets in to this event!
One more thing, check out the newly renamed Mexican Restaurant on Chincoteague. Now known as “That Mexican Place” is very affordable and the food is quite good. “The Mexican Place” is located on Chicken City Rd. just off Maddox Blvd.
Have a fun weekend! Until the next time…
